The fish was fresh and easy to get. The Hello Kitty train to bring your hot tea and special orders was charming! They played low key piano bar music and have cool led lights on the ceiling. They also keep the restaurant really clean! And their bathroom is really cool!

Enjoyed my experience at this conveyor belt sushi spot! I liked how we were able to eat small portions rolls without needing to order an entire roll. The nigiri were also very tasty! Will definitely be coming back again

Great experience for us! Specially the kids getting to choose what they want from moving belt. They even have a surprise hello kitty prize if a flower stops in front of you. Will definitely make this restaurant a go to. Food is great!

Cute Hello Kitty ambiance, with revolving sushi conveyor belt ready to serve. Also, affordable and good tasting sushi and bento.

Rounding up to 4 stars. My expectations were pretty high after reading all the great reviews, but the overall experience was just all right. Our party of three tried a wide variety of sushi from the conveyor belt, and we also tried the tonkatsudon. The food was all ok - the Buttercup Nigiri (lightly seared salmon with garlic butter and green onion) was a nice unique offering that hit the spot, but everything else was just run-of-the-mill. The fish was fresh and had a nice texture, but unfortunately the rice used in the nigiri was too sticky for my taste. The tonkatsu was fine - again, nothing to write home about - not overly flavorful, but satisfying enough if you're hungry. We ordered ponzu sauce for the tonkatsu that never came, and ordered Sakura Mochi but they were sold out (which it should have said on the iPad), even though we came right when they opened for dinner. The Hello Kitty decor is cute, but we found the overall dining room to be oddly dim...like someone forgot to adjust the lighting after daylight savings time kicked in. Pricing was fair. I will return during Fremont Restaurant Week to try out more items and give their ramen a try. Please do come by and support this local business, but don't expect to have your socks knocked off.

Conveyor-belt sushi with a tablet based ordering system and rewards for repeat customers. We enjoy the novelty, proximity, and convenience of being able to eat pretty much right away. We come here occasionally after picking the kids up and it's one of the places we are terrified will close down so we try to keep it in our restaurant rotation. The pricing isn't too bad, they charge by the color of the plate. One of our favorite dishes is the scallops, it's simple and clean and I normally get two orders of it. They also have their own rolls named after local places like "Tesla" as well as desserts as part of the revolving conveyor. The rice ratio and quality is also very good for this kind of fast sushi. You can also order hot foods and other things from the menu and it arrives on a single track conveyor above the sushi. If you have kids that want to sit and grab sushi for the table the ordering conveyor is a little high so you do need to supervise the kids if they are trying to grab hot tea or ramen for you. The menu items not on the conveyor take pretty long to make. We always get the Korokke, basically fried potato in panko. They sometimes have poke salad on the conveyor and I would go for that if you want greens, the salad from the menu was drenched in too much sauce. If you are local I would support them, there's no other conveyor sushi place like this nearby.

Had such an amazing experience here ! Food was so delicious and everything is hello kitty themed would come here again!
